Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Annual Management Incentive Plan
On September 1, 2006, with respect to named executive officers and certain other key employees, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of JLG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company and individual performance goals under the Restated Annual Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) for fiscal year 2007 commencing August 1, 2006.
Under the MIP, executive officers and certain other key employees are eligible to receive annual bonuses, payable in cash based on the level of attainment of Company and individual performance goals over one-year performance periods. The amount of the bonus is determined by multiplying the officer’s base salary by (1) a percentage that varies by officer determined by the Committee based on market comparison information, and (2) a blended percentage determined by reference to the achievement of applicable performance goals. The Company performance goals established for fiscal year 2007 are the Company’s achievement of various levels of earnings per share (“EPS”), operating income percentage, trade working capital as a percentage of total sales, and EPS growth relative to a peer group. Individual performance goals are generally linked to specific tactics or strategies of the Company’s annual business plan, and include geographically based, and global performance factors or goals such as cost reduction targets, productivity improvements, product price improvements, and revenue growth objectives.
